MIAMI (Reuters) - The Caribbean Football Union (CFU) has elected Antiguan Gordon Derrick, an official reprimanded in a FIFA ethics probe, as their new president a year after Jack Warner relinquished the post amid corruption allegations. Derrick replaces Haitian acting president Yves Jean-Bart, who assumed the role following Warner's suspension by FIFA last year for an alleged role in the 'cash for votes' case involving former Asian soccer chief Mohamed Bin Hammam. The 43-year-old Derrick was also reprimanded and fined in November by FIFA following their investigation into alleged "ethics violations" relating to the Bin Hammam case.

By Luis Ampuero BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Lionel Messi, looking to score his first World Cup goals since 2006 in Brazil this month, went scoreless as Argentina cruised to a 3-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago in a World Cup warmup on Friday. Messi missed several chances in the first half, was repeatedly fouled and hit the post with a free kick from which midfielder Javier Mascherano tapped in Argentina's second goal. Striker Rodrigo Palacio, replacing the injured Gonzalo Higuain, headed the opener in the last action of the first half and substitute Maxi Rodriguez completed the win in the 64th minute.

KINGSTON (Reuters) - Triple Olympic champion Usain Bolt could have an unexpected challenger when the Jamaican world record holder runs his first 100 meters on Saturday. Asafa Powell, who held the world record before Bolt became athletics' biggest name, is considering switching from the 200 to the 100 at the Jamaica International Invitational because of a minor groin injury. Meeting official Donald Quarrie said no decision had been made, but the sprinter's agent said they were evaluating all options.

Goalkeeper Brad Friedel was dropped Sunday from the U.S. roster for the July 1 World Cup qualifier at Mexico. The move means Kasey Keller probably will start in goal for the United States (4-0-1), which could pretty much ensure a berth in next year's tournament with a win in Mexico, where the Americans are 0-20-1, including 0-9-1 in World Cup qualifiers. Keller and Friedel had been thought to be co-No. 1s heading into World Cup qualifiers earlier this month. But Keller played in a scoreless tie in Jamaica and a 2-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago, extending his shutout streak in qualifying to five games.

A day before playing Ecuador in an exhibition, the U.S. soccer team learned that Clint Mathis, its hottest player, has a torn knee ligament and will miss the rest of World Cup qualifying. Mathis, who leads Major League Soccer with seven goals for the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, tore his right anterior cruciate ligament during practice Tuesday. "You knew something major had happened," midfielder Richie Williams said. "His first words were that [it was] his ACL. He knew exactly what the pain was."

PORT OF SPAIN/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Under pressure from opposition politicians, the prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago said she had sought information from U.S. authorities about an FBI investigation into alleged corruption in international soccer possibly involving the Caribbean country's national security minister, a former vice-president of FIFA. An exclusive Reuters report last week quoted U.S. law enforcement sources as saying Daryan Warner, the son of National Security Minister Jack Warner, has become a "cooperating witness" in the FBI investigation.
